Ardi Shoki Mahshi bil Lahmeh (بدون أرز)
Meat-Stuffed Artichoke Hearts (Rice-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no rice is used in the stuffing. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Syrian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender artichoke hearts generously stuffed with a savory mixture of seasoned ground lamb or beef, aromatic spices, and herbs, baked or simmered in a light broth. The traditional rice filling is omitted for a keto-friendly version.
Key ingredients
Artichoke hearts, ground lamb/beef, onions, garlic, parsley, mint, allspice, black pepper, cinnamon, olive oil, lemon juice, chicken/beef broth.
How to make it keto
Ensure no rice is used in the stuffing. Verify broth is sugar-free. Request a generous portion of olive oil.
